Investments do rise and do fall in value and we strongly advise that professional advice is taken before investing your money
I watched 'Inside Bill Gates's Brain' on Netflix a little while ago, and before I had watched this series, I did not really understand him, yes, I knew he was smart, the inventor of ‘windows etc’, and I had heard about the Gates Foundation and philanthropy pledges by his rich friends, but that was about it.
Now let me tell you that once I watched this programme my limited view of him changed. As you may know, I encourage living your best life and for most of us being financially independent is the target, so that you can do what you want not what you need to do to survive. Here is a man who has all the money in the world and obviously doesn't need to work another day of his life, yet he is continually looking to develop his knowledge and is trying to solve BIG problems that face this world using his wealth. He does not travel first class ‘as it’s not good value’, he has more or less rid the world of polio and is taking on big projects to change the world for the better, such as recycling used uranium which sits in stockpiles and poses a great risk to the planet. Why does he do all this when he could choose to simply sit on a beach all day? It could be the sense of purpose or the desire to leave his mark, but whatever it is it continues to drive him each day. So ask yourself, when you are gone will people remember you, or do you even care, what will your legacy look like? Family and passing wealth to the next generation is an important discussion, that's best not left too late... Leave a Reply. |
